Posted by taybaijor on 12/5/2012 1:34:00 AM (view original):Mark me down forBumper Crop please ( one question - at least half salary must be spent on these players - so not all players need to come from draft year chosen? )

No, not all of the players need to come from that particular draft year.

Half of your salaries (which would be $45,000,000) need to be spent on any number of players
from your chosen year.

This core of players comes to 46,000,000 dollars (approximately, I rounded to the nearst million).
If you liked this bumper crop from the '79 draft, you could then fill in the other roster spots with whoever you
wished.

but I thought it would just be too hard and too restrictive (in terms of viable draft years) to make all 23 spots come from the same draft crop.

I wanted to give a bit of flexibility in terms of using a Helman or an Arbour to free up some salary for other slots.

If you used the 71 draft, you could account for 50 million
using just the best seasons of Guy Lafleur, Marcel Dionne, Larry Robinson,
Rick Martin, Bill Hajt and Steve Vickers. (But that then leaves you with 17 spots to fill with the leftover cash.)

My vision for this theme was two-fold:
either a team where the big super-stars were all from the chosen year, or,
a team that had a large number of its roster spots (but not necessarily its stars) filled from the chosen year
